I think we can now legitimately say that the jumps are officially back, and we mark that particular piece of good news with a deeper look at the season's curtain-raiser at Cheltenham - it's the Showcase Meeting, and it's shaping up to be 2 pretty solid days of early season racing.

In our new format for this season, we whizz through the card for both Friday and Saturday, highlighting the horses and punting angles we feel most strongly about in the eternal quest for winners, winners, winners & Binners (Paddy Power's Paul Binfield).

New season, new format...new music!

We are back after our flat racing-induced hibernation, almost 6 months to the day since we signed off series 3.

This time round we are freshening things up, not least with an epic new bit of intro music which should get the blood pumping before we share with you our 3 horses to follow for the upcoming jumps season, and this time we've each approached the task in very different ways.

Then from next week we'll step properly into our new bitesize format of previewing one of the weekend's racecards in forensic yet snappy detail, hopefully landing on some profitable angles that will at the very least help break down the big racedays.

In the meantime enjoy episode 1 and thanks to everyone for the continued support - hope you are looking forward to the new season as much as we are!

Every year it's the same. October and the Persian War at Chepstow rolls around and the buzz for the new NH Racing season is audible! We're selecting our horses to follow. We have the first HQ meeting. The Grade 1s start rolling by late November and before we know it we're staring down the barrel of the manic Christmas schedule! The Challow marks the end of the year and with the New Year we're off HQ to shakle off the hangovers then to Warwick for the Classic Chase before the end of Jan/early Feb Cheltenham/DRF melee. Then it's the Cheltenham Festival Preview Nights and we're all like children on Xmas Eve (/totally sick of the previews!) by the time we reach that week in the middle of March. And then it's done...just like that...and we're off to Uttoxeter for the Midlands National and then on to Fairyhouse at Easter and then Aintree for the race that stops the nation!

Before suddenly...it's the Craven meeting at Newmarket and the jumps season is nearly over for another year...How the hell did that happen?

It's always sad when the season winds down but it's been a hell of a ride this year and, in this season finale episode, Bruno and I look back on our highlights as we dish out the now coveted Talking Horses Podcast End of Season Awards - namely Best Horse, Best Race and Best Personal Moment.

Then we look ahead, as one must in this world, to the 2025 Cheltenham Festival and bring you a 5-fold acca each across the championship races. Just for a bit of fun!

And last but by absolutely no means least, we both just wanted to say a massive thank you to all of you that have listened to us during this season. We both have full time jobs and Bruno has a young family. This is just a hobby for us but we love it and it means the world to be able to share our love for the sport with you guys and to have seen our regular listenership grow significantly as the season has progressed. So thank you...and we can't wait to be with you all again in October!

Enjoy Ayr, Sandown and Punchestown and have a great summer. We'll see you soon.

Cheers and much love,

Ben & Bruno x
